Palestine Thanks Morocco for Constant Support for Sovereignty Cause
Rabat – Palestine has renewed its appreciation for Morocco's constant support for its legitimate cause for sovereignty. Palestinian Minister responsible for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faresin Aghabekian Shaheen conveyed Palestine's gratitude on Tuesday, thanking King Mohammed VI for his efforts in support of the Palestinian cause and the implementation of the two-state solution. She made her remarks during a press briefing on the sidelines of the 5th meeting of the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, which was held in Morocco's capital of Rabat, noting that the holding of the event is part of Morocco's sustained efforts to make the State of Palestine a tangible reality. 'We place great hopes on this kind of meeting,' the minister said, recalling the current delicate and dire situation as the Israeli Occupation Forces' wage a genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza. She emphasized that the gathering is likely to contribute to efforts aimed at making the two-state solution a reality and enriching the work of the upcoming high-level conference on the two state solution that will take place at the UN headquarters in New York in June. On Saturday, King Mohammed VI delivered a strong speech that Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita read at the Arab League Summit, conveying Morocco's unwavering support for the establishment of a Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital. The monarch also condemned IOF's continued aggressions, calling for an immediate ceasefire through the revival of a dialogue to end the situation. The monarch specifically called for an urgent intervention to put an end to the 'Israeli military aggressions against the West Bank, particularly the demolition of homes and the forced displacement of peaceful, unarmed populations living in areas under Israeli security control.' Bourita on Tuesday reiterated the same position, at the International Coalition meeting in Rabat, noting that Morocco strongly believes the two-state solution is the only path to peace between Palestinians and Israelis. Bourita said the two-state solution is the 'only option where no one loses,' explaining that Palestinians would gain their freedom and dignity, while Israelis would get safety and stability, and the entire region would have a better chance at development and peace. Despite international uproar, IOF continues their atrocious genocidal attacks, targeting unarmed Palestinians amid an already fragile situation marked by famine and spread of diseases. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, medical sources in Gaza reported the death of 52 citizens as a result of new Israeli airstrikes just this morning. IOF's genocidal war killed at least 53,573 Palestinians, the majority of whom were children and women, and has injured at least 121,688. 'This is a preliminary toll, as a number of victims remain under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams,' Wafa reported. Tags: Morocco and Palestine
